Six months after launch, ray tracing finally comes to Wolfenstein: Youngblood

Wolfenstein: Youngblood

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is the first modern co-op Wolfenstein adventure. Team up with a friend or play solo as one of BJ Blazkowicz’s twin daughters and wield a powerful arsenal of new weapons, gadgets, and abilities to liberate Paris from the Nazis.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood was one of Nvidia’s big ray tracing poster children last year, and it was even one of the free games you could get if you bought a new RTX graphics card over the summer.
